Installation:
Mounting Note: Recommended mounting height range is 7 to 9 feet (2.1 to 2.7 meters).
General mounting advice:
x For best detection, locate the FA206B so that intruders move across detection coverage patterns,
rather than toward or away from the sensor.
x The mounting surface should be solid and vibration-free.
x Check areas for potential sources of false alarms. Remember that the sensor responds to quick
changes in heat patterns within its coverage pattern. Avoid locating it where it is exposed to direct or
reflected sunlight, or to objects which can be heated quickly by sunlight. Do not place the FA206B facing
windows. Don't place it near heating or cooling sources, like heater ducts or air conditioners, which
might direct hot or cold air onto the sensor. Look for appliances such as space heaters which can
rapidly heat up. Moving objects, such as ceiling fans are also potential sources of false alarms.
x Find out about normal use of the area. Are there pets? Might there be birds or rodents, for example, in a
warehouse? Configure the FA206B accordingly.
x When the sensor might detect users who enter the protected area through a delayed door, program the
sensor as a "Follower" device.
x Make end-users aware of the location of the FA206B and caution them about obstructing the coverage
pattern when re-arranging furniture or stock.
